“…Therefore, these identified major testability factors were addressed well in advance while incorporating testability at design stage. By applying the regression method, study already developed Effectiveness Model [3] and Reusability Model [5] that is given in Equations (2) and (3) …”

“…It has been inferred from the literature survey on testability analysis that there is a heavy need of identifying a commonly accepted set of the factors affecting software testability [11] [12] [15] [21]. A significant effort has been prepared to collect a set of software testability factors namely, effectiveness, understandability, simplicity, reusability, self descriptiveness, complexity, traceability and modularity that can affect software testability at design time in development life cycle [3] [5]. Out of these testability factors, some of them have their direct impact in evaluating testability of object oriented software, while other factors have less or negligible impact.…”

“…Classes in object oriented system provide an excellent structuring mechanism that allows a system to be divided into well designed units which may then be implemented separately [4]. One of the major advantage of having object orientation is its support for software reuse, which may be achieved either through the simple reuse of a class in a library or via inheritance [5]. Object oriented paradigm has created new challenges to testing, which has to deal with new problems introduced by the powerful object oriented features such as encapsulation, inheritance, coupling cohesion, polymorphism, and dynamic binding.…”

The quality factor of class diagram is critical because it has significant influence on overall quality of the product, delivered finally. Testability has been recognized as a key factor to software quality. Estimating testability at design stage is a criterion of crucial significance for software designers to make the design more testable. Taking view of this fact, this paper identifies testability factors namely effectiveness and reusability and establishes the correlation among testability, effectiveness and reusability and justifies the correlation with the help of statistical measures. Moreover study developed metric based testability estimation model and developed model has been validated using experimental test. Subsequently, research integrates the empirical validation of the developed model for high level acceptance. Finally a hypothesis test performs by the two standards to test the significance of correlation.

Estimating Reusability near the beginning in the software development life cycle, particularly at design phase, may help the designers to integrate required improvement and corrections for improving overall quality of the developed software. This research paper proposes a framework for reusability estimation that provides step by step solution for reusability estimation of object oriented software. As well as study developed a multivariate regression model ‗Reusability Estimation Model for Object-Oriented software' at design phase of software development process. Proposed model has been mathematically validated through proper statistical measures and contextual explanation has been drawn. This study facilitates the software developers, designer and quality controllers, the inclusion of reusability estimation model to access and quantify software reusability for quality product. Reusability estimation in early stage of software development life cycle always supports the designers to improve the reusability of product class diagram and consequently the reusability of software.
